CAUTION
Be careful that using more than the maximum allowed amount
can prevent proper boiling or cause the contents to boil over.
Also be careful not to use less than the minimum required
amount, as that can also cause the contents to boil over.
Stir well before cooking to prevent seasonings from settling
at the bottom of the inner pot.
Using hot dashi (Japanese soup stock) or other stock may
result in improper cooking, so cool it before cooking.
Use only the supplied spatula or a wooden spatula. Do not
use hard or sharp utensils such as metal ladles, spoons, or
whisks.
Caution should be exercised when making dishes other than
those described in Menu Guide, as they may boil over or
burn.
Since milk and soymilk can boil over particularly easily, add
them after heating is nished and heat them no more than 5
minutes at a time.
